I have an app on my phone that I like to use at the store - you just scan the barcode, and it tells you if there's gluten in the product or not. I don't use it much anymore, but it was really helpful for me when I first started out and didn't really know what I was doing. It's called Fooducate for Allergies. They have more than one app, so make sure that you get the one for allergies because their normal app only grades how good or bad a food is and doesn't tell you if something has gluten in it.

I also haven't spoken with my doctor about this yet, so I'm waiting on that. I have some digestion issues going on so that is my main concern that made me consider the Gluten free diet. Once I started doing a little research, I found a few other of my ailments that could be attributed to Gluten allergies as well. I could really use a buddy or two, or more, to gently guide me when I'm ready to commit! Thanks all!
